DR. WAJEEHA ISSUES

On Hey all, Long time. For a change, I was busy. Adapting to change. But this one thing, I could not bottle up in my tummy. So vomiting it here . My third ambulance duty. The first being a race course one, second a serious one, third one ... The high profile air ambulance pick up! This Id Ul Adha , I come home at 10am post duty. Because man , Holidays in residency are expensive. Do the Id chores, prepare biryani , gulab jamuns. Sit jobless ... Looking for some fun. I was really bored my friend  calls up.I tell her , I'm bored.She's like, Are u serious? You better get married. Bakrid ka kaam pata lagega. Poor one. She was so done with sorting mutton.
